Art can certainly add lots of fun colors to a baby room or a kids' bedroom decor. 

Above paintings:

Winnie The Pooh and His Lunch

&

Winnie The Pooh Rainbow

These two art works bring imaginative story to this bright baby room.

Next painting, Teddy Bears In The Bed , which I've painted after one famous nursery rhyme became a great centerpiece for a muted light color of baby room interior:

For a girl that loves loves loves pink, these bright watercolor from hyper realism to the abstract art would fit perfectly for her room interior decor:

Ballet Slippers (purple dancing shoes)

Graceful Silhouette Of Dancing Ballerina

Pink Rose Petals Abstract Painting

For the girl that like to be outdoors and bike, watch butterflies, and smell flowers, these purple hues would become the best companions for her interior decor:

Bicycle Watercolor Silhouette

Watercolor Butterfly Canvas Print

Baby Pink Flower On Purple

For a girl dreamer who loves walking on the beach and searching for seashells, the paining Girl And The Ocean would be a great fit for sure:

And I didn't forget the baby boys room interior. Here are a few funny dots abstract paintings for their baby-blue interior decor:

Abstract Watercolor Dots III

Abstract Watercolor Dots II

The decorative ideas for baby room interiors and kids' rooms art decor are endless when it comes to watercolor. 

I have dozens and dozens of paintings for children in my three creative galleries:

Remembering when I had a wonderful adventure of my life, traveling along the shore of Florida Keys with my friends. Amazing trip and unforgettable scenery. It was certainly a paradise for an artist's eye. I had an opportunity to paint a few watercolors there and brought tons of memorable photos that one day can transform into paintings.

Above seascape

watercolor painting is from  Islamorada little town. Translating from Spanish, Islamorada is a Purple Island . When looking at the clouds' color in the distance I understood why they named this beautiful place after one of my favorite hues. The scene was so serene, so lovely, that I couldn't not to paint it.

We also visited a larger town of Florida Keys, the city of Marathon. Besides fishing, diving, and sailing, it has a big tourists' attraction, beautiful Faro Blanco Lighthouse that proudly stands in the marina of Hyatt Hotel right next to the Palm Island:

Another gorgeous place that I've visited was  John Pennekamp  

State Park:

This, from the first glance, peaceful place showed us its habitat pretty quickly. I was amazed how much wild life Florida Keys have and how close you can get to meet the "residents" who in return don't even care about tourists taking the pictures:

Amazing trip! True discovery of Florida Keys beauty and hidden secrets!

If in the last year I focused more on precisely painted botanical flowers for my Coloring Books Collection , this year I am exploring quite different style of painting; and, I am introducing an interesting water medium into my watercolor, gouache. Gouache is a pretty much opaque watercolor that allows to paint thicker, well pronounced layers on on a top of each other. I love an Impressionistic feeling when I paint with gouache.

In the first group of paintings of my Impressionistic Flowers I explored cool and warm tones of a simple beauty painting flowers bouquets in free loose brush strokes:

Part of the collection includes my art on merchandise such pillows, dresses from my

RedBubble Gallery ; as well as from my website

I always thought about coming to paint

Conservatory Of Flowers

in Golden Gate Park of San Francisco en Plein-Air Style. And finally, I packed my paints and went. In spite of the starting rain, I stoically waited for the first sun rays to come up while I was drawing And then, the magic had began: I splashed the paint all over the artwork. But the day was still oh so cold. I warmed up my hands in the restaurant at the Ocean Beach and then happy and full, filled with art ideas, I went back home to add a few details to the painting :)

A note from the keepers of this beautiful Botanical Life Museum:

The Conservatory of Flowers is a national, state and local landmark, officially “Landmark Number 841” in the State of California. Built in 1879, the Conservatory of Flowers was the first formal structure erected in Golden Gate Park and remains an icon at the entrance of world renowned Golden Gate Park.

The Conservatory is literally filled to the brim with flowers, foliage and plants from around the world, with a concentration on tropical plants. It’s a place where you will always be greeted with a warm smile, an unforgettable experience, and an opportunity to view a plant or flower that you may not see anywhere else. Come visit the Conservatory today and immerse yourself in our five distinct galleries, each focusing on highlighting a different ecosystem, ranging from a tropical rainforest to the cloud forests perched on top of mountains. Once inside the Conservatory you will engage all senses: see an awesome array of colors and textures; feel the warm, moist air; smell intoxicating fragrances; taste the mist on your tongue; hear the trickle of falling water, a clap of thunder in our rainforest, or crickets as the sun starts to set.

We are proud that the Conservatory is engaged in important conservation and education work, keeping rare and unusual plants on display for the young and old, just as we have done since 1879. We are proud to translate the amazing stories of plants unique features or ingenious adaptation traits through our carefully curated interpretation and experiences. Finally, we are proud to welcome children of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

When I visited Florence a couple of years ago, I stumbled upon a real treasure of this grand city.. Hiding right behind Pitti Palace there were amazing Boboli Gardens. The Medici family established the blueprint of these gardens centuries ago. They thought about creating the Italian garden style, which in the future became a perfect example for many European courts and gardens. The enormous green area is mixing up with a regular layout. It is truly a museum under the open sky. 

The garden is filled with gorgeous ancient and Renaissance statues and fountains. There are also decorative grottos, the most important of which is the famous Grotto created by Bernardo Buontalenti. Large fountains, for example the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean are grand not only in their massive beauty, but strike the viewer with gentle lines and silhouettes shaped by great old masters. Later, the following Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties developed and added to the gardens, outspreading the boundaries of the area up to Porta Romana. 

I loved the strikingly beautiful terraced area of 18th-century pavilion, which called the Kaffeehaus. It is a rare example of Rococo architecture in Tuscany. The Lemon House built by Zanobi del Rosso between 1777 and 1778 has 500 citrus plants from the Garden. And of course, the main building of Boboli Gardens is Pitti Palace in the foot of the hill spreading its beauty and hugging the gardens from the Northern side. It is definitely worth visiting both, the gardens and the Palace in one day to appreciate the beauty of manmade structures with Nature provided but trimmed to taste of the last centuries, park.

I also love sharing review from WayFair customer who bought the print with Birds:

The colours are bright and vibrant. Because I have a large wall I ordered the largest size. It looks stunning above my blue love seat ! I order large pictures when I can as they give more impact. The picture quality is just as good as the smaller ones .... they DO NOT distort as others have indicated. It came well packaged and damage free.

With these new designs, I am inviting snow, wind, winter blizzard into an interior of a house. And even though the Winter Forest artworks are full of dynamics of the harsh cold season, they bring an interesting accent into a room decor.

The Winter Blue Forest Silhouette adds cool hues to the living room:

When on another hand, this  Winter Purple Forest would rock an interior of a all-purple-color lover:

These and other new paintings became a great addition to my Watercolor Silhouettes Gallery on www.artirin.com

As a part of my

Travel Around The World

series I want to invite my art collectors to some Northern part of the World. 

Watercolor painting landscape with snowy mountains of Alaska is above. The mountains are so grand and monumental in all their beauty. The solitude, peace and serenity comes to my mind when I look at this watercolor landscape.

And here is a little different scene. In this painting, besides the cold and solid mountains on the back, we see cute cozy and warm houses of Northern country Greenland. I love this little community, where people know what hardship of a tough weather can be yet still appreciate living in this area:

And another Northern country scene that I've recently painted is a famous Blue Lagoon in Iceland:

Here is quite interesting story about Blue Lagoon creation:

What is curious is that the Blue Lagoon is not a natural phenomenon. Iceland is a country brimming with natural hot springs, but the Blue Lagoon incidentally is not one of them as it turned out to be. The Blue Lagoon history dates back to 1976 and is formed next to the geothermal power plant. The lagoon was created by the excess water from the power plant, that is drilling for steam and hot water. The runoff is filtered straight into the Blue Lagoon, which is what heats the water. This "accidental" paradise is now attracting hundreds of people from all over the World to visit, enjoy warm waters, crisp air, and peaceful beauty of Iceland.   The waters of Blue Lagoon are clean and safe. It does not contain any chemicals, only natural minerals that have proven to be very good for people’s skin.

The latest creative designs with Fall Leaves that was inspired by my recent travels to a Sacramento County forest is now presented in forms of dinnerware in my

Fall Theme Collection .  

Napkins (cloth and paper ones), kitchen towels, coasters and even placemats will bring a nice bright season to the customers dining rooms. 

The original prints, canvases, metal prints, and acrylic prints can be found on www.artirina.com . They became a great addition to my new Gallery called

Watercolor Silhouettes :

These vivid collection brings warmth and vibrant sensation to my customers' homes.

I am used to see my art on the wall of art collectors. But I was curious how the Fall Art would look like on clothes items. How the fall leaves, for example, would fit into the wardrobe.

The artwork

Autumn Flow

looks great not only on the wall as a framed art; but, as well as the scarf or top or even a dress:

Another artwork that I've created as a fall pattern, contains deeper solid colors of the great season:

It does look cute on the skirt, short sleeve top design, and a dress:

I was painting En Plein-Air style (outside) in the state of Washington. Right in the middle of my painting two deers, a buck and a doe, came to visit. 

Surely, I had to paint them too:

It was great to capture Nature's motion and vivid life of the hills and meadows.

I love this beautiful colorful enchanting time when an artist can get all warm colors out and feel free to splash them onto her paper. 

It seems to me that the word Autumn applies to my watercolors somewhat more poetic, romantic, and right compare to the word Fall. 

I checked a couple of dictionaries, one British and American ones.

Per Oxford Dictionary Online; 

Autumn

 - noun-

 T

he season of the year between summer and winter, when leaves change colour and the weather becomes colder 

Fall 

- verb- 

Per Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Fall

- noun-

The season when leaves fall from trees

I personally like the word Autumn for my watercolors, as the

 season of the year between warm greens and cool blues, when leaves transform their palette from monochrome mix of yellow and blue into a vibrant symphony of reds oranges and lemon golds. And even though, it's true the weather becomes colder, but the short lived beauty of this season sparks not the End such fallen leaves, but the Beginning of something New, a whisper far far from the Future. 

So, with this artistic definition of mine, it appears I can't stop painting Autumn/Fall using different watercolor techniques from detailed dry-brush one, to impressionistic painting with the sea-sponge, and even application of tooth-brush technique. 

I am having fun not only by painting landscapes but even single trees in all their glory. They look so happy framed, either with mat or without:

I am also so grateful to my Art Collectors who love this season as much as I do as well as appreciating my creativity and skill. 

Geography of them is quite diverse, and I am so happy my art brings joy into peoples' home interior.

Here are a few recent paintings that found a good home.

Many thanks to the Art Collector from Seattle, Washington for purchasing many cards with these colorful Fall Autumn Watercolor Landscapes:

As a part of my new Around The World series (I mentioned it HERE ), I want to invite my followers art collectors to Japan. I painted this artwork in watercolor in simple fresh style, where colors are bright and the lines are sharp, yet impressionistic approach to watercolor brush strokes in this painting provide an easy relaxing appreciation of this water media. 

The Chureito Pagoda is five stories of beautiful lacy levels. It is located on the mountainside overlooking city of Fujiyoshida. Far on the horizon you can ses Mount Fuji. The pagoda is a part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine. It was built as a peace place and memorial in 1963. To get to the pagoda, one need to climb around 400 steps up. And when the hike is accomplished, the reward is a remarkable views of Mount Fuji in combination with Churito pagoda . It is beautiful view in any season. Lots of people love it during Spring when cherry blossoms are on the trees, but I pictured it in Fall. Autumn colors suit so well this beautiful building. The most colorful season usually takes place in the first half of November. 

I love how this painting looks in a simple black frame with white mat:

If to think about no frame, the canvas painting of Chureito Pagoda looks great in living room setting:

I also like how vertical view of this watercolor painting, allows Chureito Pagoda stand out and yet it gives a nice perspective to Mountain Fuji as well:

The Summer is rounding up and everywhere I go I see happy sunflowers in the backyards and in the fields. Those gorgeous plants always remind me of upcoming Fall.

They follow me throughout my art career and I keep coming back for them creating new artworks and designs that are so loved by my customers and Art Collectors.

Here are a fer recent creation of Sunflowers on clothes:

Sunflowers bunch looking so good on Scarves and Pillows :
